(e) Material Accounting Policies
Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The
lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which
may impact their life, such as changes in technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes
or improvements in production or from a change in market demand of the product or service output
of the asset. Freehold land is carried at cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment including
intangibles are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortization losses, if any.

The cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment meeting the recognition
criteria and borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of
a qualifying property, plant and equipment up to the date of commissioning of the assets. In accordance
with Ind AS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment commissioning expenses directly attributable to project
is recognized under Capital Work in Progress (CWIP). Subsequent to initial recognition, property, plant
and equipment other than freehold land are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed
for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable.

Property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability wherever there is any indication that their
carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount being the
higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use is determined on an individual asset basis. In
cases where the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent from other assets,
the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a tax
free discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risk specific
to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable value of an asset (CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying
amount of the asset (CGU) is reduced to its recoverable value. An impairment loss is recognised in the
statement of profitand loss.

Depreciation in tangible assets is provided on Written Down Value method and calculated on cost of items
of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual value over their estimated useful life and
recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

The Company reviews the useful life of property, plantand equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible
assets at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation and
amortisation expense in future periods.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recognized when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company
and the cost can be reliably measured.

They are initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less amortisation and impairment, if any.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in
the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.
Amortisation is on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. Research costs are expensed as
incurred; development costs are capitalized if criteria under Ind AS 38 are met. Assets with indefinite life
or not yet in use are tested annually for impairment.

Intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability wherever there is any indication that their carrying value
may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount being the higher of fair value
less costs to sell and value in use is determined on an individual asset basis. In cases, where the asset
does not generate cash flows that are largely independent from other assets, the recoverable amount is
determined for the cash generating unit (CGU)to which the asset belongs. If the recoverable value of an
asset (CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (CGU) is
reduced to its recoverable value. An impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Inventories

Inventories are valued at cost or net realisable value whichever is less. The cost of inventories includes
expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or other conversion cost incurred in bringing
them to their present location and condition. In the case of raw material and stock-in-trade cost comprises
of cost of purchase, in the case of finished goods and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate
share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. In the case of trading inventories,
cost comprises the cost of purchase and other incidental costs incurred in bringing them to their present
location and condition. The company values its inventories using the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method & its
land using the Fair Market Value(Guideline Value).

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs
of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The net realisable value of work in progress
is determined with reference to the selling price of related finished goods.

Investment Property

Property that is held for long-term rental yield or for capital appreciation or both is classified as investment
property. Investment property is carried at cost including related transaction costs less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Subsequent expenditure is included in the asset’s book value
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company
and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are expensed when
incurred. when a part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amounts of the replaced part is
derecognized.

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs include finance costs calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in
respect of assets acquired on lease and exchange differences arising on foreign currency borrowings to
the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to finance costs.

In cases where hedging instruments are acquired for protection against exchange rate risk related to
borrowings and are accounted as hedging a time-period related hedge item, the borrowing costs also
include the amortisation of premium element of the forward contract and foreign currency basis spread as
applicable, over the period of the hedging instrument.

Borrowing costs net of any investment income from the temporary investment of related borrowings
that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised/
inventorised as part of cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.
A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its
intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they
are incurred.

Cash and bank balances

Cash and bank balances include fixed deposits, margin money deposits, earmarked balances with banks
and other bank balances which have restrictions on repatriation. Short-term and liquid investments being
subject to more than insignificant risk of change in value, are not included as part of cash and cash
equivalents.

Share-based payment arrangements

The stock options granted to employees in terms of the Company’s Stock Options Schemes, are measured
at the fair value of the options at the grant date. The fair value of the options is treated as discount and
accounted as employee compensation cost over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. The amount
recognised as expense in each year is arrived at based on the number of grants expected to vest. If a grant
lapses after the vesting period, the cumulative discount recognised as expense in respect of such grant is
transferred to the general reserve within equity.

The fair value of the stock options granted to employees of the Company by the Company’s subsidiaries
is accounted as employee compensation cost over the vesting period and where such fair value is not
recovered by the subsidiaries, the same is treated as dividend declared by them. The share- based payment
equivalent to the fair value as on the date of grant of employee stock options granted to key managerial
personnel is disclosed as a related party transaction in the year of grant.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of
diluted earnings per share.

Securities premium

(i) Securities premium includes:

A. The difference between the face value of the equity shares and the consideration received in respect
of shares issued.

B. The fair value of the stock options which are treated as expense, if any, in respect of shares allotted
pursuant to Stock Options Scheme

(ii) The issue expenses of securities which qualify as equity instruments are written off against securities
premium.

Financial Instrument

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability
or equity instrument of another entity.

(a) Financial assets: Initial Recognition and Measurement

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not
recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition
of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss
are expensed in profit or loss. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets
within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades)
are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the
asset.

Subsequent Measurement- Debt Instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for
managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. For the purposes of subsequent
measurement, debt instruments are classified in three categories:

- Debt instruments at amortized cost;

- Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI); and

- Debt instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

Debt Instruments at Amortized Cost

A debt instrument is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:

a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting
contractual cashflows, and

b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments
of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding. After initial measurement,
such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium
on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is
included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized
in the profit or loss.

Debt Instrument at FVTOCI

A debt instrument is classified as at FVTOCI if both the following criteria are met:

a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and
selling the financial assets, and

b) The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each
reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the OCI. However, the Group
recognizes interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss
in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss
previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from the equity to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Interest earned while holding FVTOCI debt instruments is reported as interest income using the
EIR method.

Debt Instrument at FVTPL

FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet
the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as at FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. In
addition, the Group may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized
cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces
or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’).
Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity Instruments

- Equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); and

- Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial
assets) is primarily derecognized when:

(a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

(b) The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a
‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either

(i) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or

(ii) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the
asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group assesses on a forward- looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its
assets carried at amortized cost and FVTOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied
depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.
Assessment of such credit risk is being made on case to case basis based on available information.

For trade receivables only, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109
‘Financial Instruments’, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial
recognition of the receivables.

The allowance for doubtful debts/ advances or impairment of assets is made on case to case basis
by considering relevant available information.

(b) Financial Liabilities- Initial Recognition and Measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss, as loans and borrowings, as payables, or as derivatives. All financial liabilities are
recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly
attributable transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans
and borrowings including redeemable preference shares and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent Measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) include financial liabilities held for
trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities
are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near
term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are
not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109 ‘Financial
instruments’.Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the profit or loss.
Impairment of assets

As at the end of each financial year, the carrying amounts of PPE, investment property, intangible
assets and investments in subsidiary, associate and joint venture companies are reviewed to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If
such indication exists, PPE, investment property, intangible assets and investments in subsidiary,
associate and joint venture companies are tested for impairment so as to determine the impairment
loss, if any. Goodwill is tested for impairment each year.

Impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable
amount. Recoverable amount is determined:

(i) in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and the
value-in-use; and

(ii) in the case of a cash generating unit (the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates
independent cash flows), at the higher of the cash generating unit’s fair value less costs of
disposal and the value-in-use.(The amount of value-in-use is determined as the present value
of estimated future cash flows from the continuing use of an asset, which may vary based on
the future performance of the Company and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. For
this purpose, the discount rate (post-tax) is determined based on the weighted average cost of
capital of the company suitably adjusted for risks specified to the estimated cash flows of the
asset).

If recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its
carrying amount, such deficit is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as
impairment loss and the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is reduced to
its recoverable amount When an impairment loss recognised earlier is subject to full or partial
reversal, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit), except impairment loss
allocated to goodwill, is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that
the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss is recognised for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior
years. A reversal of an impairment loss (other than impairment loss allocated to goodwill) is
recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Employee benefits / Obligations
(i) Short term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries including non monetary benefits that are expected to be settled
wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render their related
services are recognized in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period
and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities
are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the Balance Sheet.

(ii) Post employment obligations

The Company has the following post employment obligations / plans:

a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity for its eligible employees

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan, post-employment medical benefits and other
defined benefit plans and the present value of the obligation of defined benefit plans are
determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various
assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the
determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the
complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation
is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each
reporting date. Actuarial gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Further, the profit or loss not include an expected return on plan assets. Further, the profit or
loss does not include an expected return on plan assets. Instead net interest recognized in
profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit
obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

Re-measurement gains or losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in
actuarial assumption are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other
comprehensive income (net of tax).

b) Defined contribution plans

The Company’s contribution to state governed provident fund scheme, employee state
insurance scheme and employee pension scheme are defined contribution plans. The
contribution paid/payable under the schemes is recognised during the period in which the
employee renders the service.

(iii) Other long-term employee benefits:

The obligation recognised in respect of other long-term benefits is measured at present value of
estimated future cash flows expected to be made by the Company and is recognised in a similar
manner as in the case of defined benefit plans vide (ii)(B) above.

Long-term employee benefit costs comprising current service cost and gains or losses on
curtailments and settlements, re-measurements including actuarial gains and losses are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefits expenses. Interest cost
implicit in long-term employee benefit cost is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss
under finance costs.

(iv) Termination benefits:

Termination benefits such as compensation under employee separation schemes are recognised
as expense when the Company’s offer of the termination benefit can no longer be withdrawn or
when the Company recognises the related restructuring costs whichever is earlier.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits full flow to the Company and the
revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair
value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment
and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government. The Company has concluded that it is the
principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it
had pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.

The Company transfers control of a good or service over time and therefore satisfies a performance obligation
and recognises revenue over a period of time if one of the following criteria is met:

(a) the customer simultaneously consumes the benefit of the Company’s performance or

(b) the customer controls the asset as it is being created/ enhanced by the Company’s performance or

(c) there is no alternative use of the asset and the Company has either explicit or implicit right of payment
considering legal precedents. In all other cases, performance obligation is considered as satisfied at a point
in time.

(i) Revenue from operations
A. Revenue from sale of goods

Revenue, including subsidy, in respect of sale of goods and services is recognized at a point in time when control
of the goods has transferred or services obligation has been performed, being when the goods are delivered to
the buyer, the buyer has full discretion over the goods or services and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could
affect the buyer’s acceptance of the goods. Revenue (other than subsidy) from the sales is recognized based
on price specified in the contract, net of estimated volume discount. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of
returns and allowances, trade discounts, rebates, and goods & services tax (GST). The Company collects GST
on behalf of the government and therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence,
these are excluded from the revenue.

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised
goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the
Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

The Company includes variable consideration (including estimates amounts of claims) as part of transaction
price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the variable consideration and when its
recovery is highly probable and that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when
the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

Variable consideration is estimated using the expected value method or most likely amount as appropriate in
a given circumstance. Payment terms agreed with a customer are as per business practice and the financing
component, if significant, is separated from the transaction price and accounted as interest income.

Costs to obtain a contract which are incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are charged-off
in profit or loss immediately in the period in which such costs are incurred. Incremental costs of obtaining a
contract and costs incurred to fulfil a contract which are expected to be recovered are amortised over the period
of execution of the contract in proportion to the progress measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost
incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation.

Contract Assets: A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to
the customer. If the Company fulfils its performance obligation by transferring goods or services to a customer
before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned
consideration that is conditional.

Trade Receivables: A receivable represents the company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional
(i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).

Contract Liabilities: A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the
Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer
pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is
recognized when the payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract Liabilities in respect
of advance from customers is disclosed under “other current liabilities”. Contract liabilities are recognized as
revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

Revenue from rendering of services is recognised over time as the customer receives the benefit of the
Company’s performance and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for services transferred. Other
operational revenue represents income earned from the activities incidental to the business and is recognised
when the performance obligation is satisfied and right to receive the income is established as per the terms of
the contract.

Interest income on investments, deposits and loans is accrued on a time basis by reference to the principal
outstanding and the effective interest rate including interest on investments classified as fair value through profit
or loss or fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest receivable on customer dues is recognised as
income in the Statement of Profit and Loss on accrual basis provided there is no uncertainty of realisation.

Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established, which is
generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

Claims receivable on account of insurance are accounted for to the extent the Company is reasonably certain of
their ultimate collection.

Government grants, which are revenue in nature and are towards compensation for the qualifying costs incurred
by the Company, are recognised as other income/reduced from underlying expenses in profit or loss in the period
in which such costs are incurred. Government grants related to an asset are reduced from the cost of an asset
until the asset is ready to use and the grant post that is presented as deferred income. Subsequently the grant
is recognised as income in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the related asset.
Government grant receivable in the form of duty credit scrips is recognised as other income in the Statement of
Profit and Loss in the period in which the export is done or the application is made to the government authorities
and to the extent there is no uncertainty towards its receipt.

Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that
the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

An item of income or expense which by its size, nature and incidence requires disclosure in order to improve an
understanding of the performance of the Company is treated as an exceptional item and disclosed as such in the
financial statements.

Lease

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Company as Lessee

The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term
leases and leases of low value assets. The Company recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and
right-of use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

Right of use assets

The cost of the right-of-use assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any
lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease plus any initial direct costs, less any lease
incentives received. Subsequently, the right-of-use assets is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The right-of use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method
from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use assets. The Right to use
assets are also subject to impairment as described in the polices with respect to the impairment of non-financial
assets.

For lease liabilities at inception, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease
payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit
in the lease, if that rate is readily determined, if that rate is not readily determined, the lease payments are
discounted using the incremental borrowing rate. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities
is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.

The Company recognizes the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-
of-use assets. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero and there is a further
reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount of the
re-measurement in the statement of Profit and loss.

Company as Lessor

The leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership
of an asset are classified as operating Lease. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis
over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature.
Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount
of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents
are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned. During the year ended 31 March 2020, the
Company applied, for the first time, Ind AS 116 Leases retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially
applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application as an adjustment to the opening balance of
retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at the date of initial application.

Nature of the effect of adoption of lnd AS 116

The Company has lease contracts for Factory and Hotel Business. Before the adoption of Ind AS 116, the
Company classified its leases (as lessor) at the inception date as an operating lease. In an operating lease, the
leased property was not capitalized and the lease receipts/payments were recognized as rent income in the
statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Any prepaid rent and accrued rent were
recognized under Prepayments and Trade and other payables, respectively.

Upon adoption of Ind AS 116, the company applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases
that it is the lessee, except for short term, leases and leases of low-value assets. The standard provides specific
transition requirements and practical expedients, which has been applied by the company.

Business combinations

Common control business combination is accounted using the pooling of interest method where the Company
is transferee. Assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts and no new
asset or liability is recognised. Identity of reserves of the transferor company is preserved by reflecting them
in the same form in the Company’s financial statements in which they appeared in the financial statements
of the transferor company. The excess between the amount of consideration paid over the share capital of
the transferor company is recognised as a negative amount and the same is disclosed as capital reserve on
business combination.

The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods is restated from the beginning of
the preceding period inthe financial statements if the business combination date is prior to that date. However, if
business combination date is after that date,the financial information in the financial statements is restated from
the date of business combination.

Statement of cash flows

Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities.
Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method, adjusting the profit before tax excluding
exceptional items for the effects of:

• changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables;

• non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, unrealised foreign currency gains and losses; and

• all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.

Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) shown in the Statement of Cash Flows exclude items
which are not available for general use as at the date of Balance Sheet.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the net profit or loss after tax and weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is computed using the net profit or loss after tax and weighted average number of
equity and potential equity shares outstanding during the year, except where the result would be anti-dilutive.
Taxes on Income

Taxes on Income comprise current tax and deferred tax

The current tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income computed at
the applicable income tax rate and is recognized in the statement of profit or loss. Management periodically
evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to
interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax
authorities.

Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax is determined using
tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are
expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.

Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, respectively.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES :

2.1 Basis of preparation of the Ind AS Financial statements

(a) Statement of Compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting
principles in India and have complied in all material respects with the Indian Accounting Standards(“Ind
AS”) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act), the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016 as
applicable and also complied with other relevant provisions of the Act and Interpretations issued by the
Ind AS Transition Facilitation Group (ITFG) applicable to Companies reporting under Ind As and additional
disclosures required by SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

The Financial statements up to the a year ended March 31,2017 which were prepared in accordance with
the accounting standard notified under the companies (accounting standard) Rules, 2006 (as amended)
and other relevant provisions of the Act. Have been reinstated as per Ind As.

The Company’s Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees (C), which is also its functional
currency and all values are rounded to the nearest lakhs, except when otherwise indicated.

(b) Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared under historical cost convention except for certain assets
and liabilities as stated in the respective policies, which have been measured at fair value.

(c) Current versus non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/non-current
classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

i. Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

ii. Held primarily for the purpose of trading

iii. Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or

iv. Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least
twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

i. It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

ii. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

iii. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

iv. There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the
reporting period.

All other liabilities have been classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

2.2 Use of estimates and judgement

The preparation of financial statement in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles
requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the
year and disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of balance sheet. The judgement, estimates and
assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon the management’s evaluation
of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date financial statements. Actual amounts could differ
from these estimates.

2.3 Significant estimates and judgements

The areas involving significant estimates property and judgements are:

a) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The
useful lives and residual values of Company’s assets are determined by the management at the time the
asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on
historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their
life, such as changes in technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in
production or from a change in market demand of the product or service output of the asset.

Freehold land is carried at cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment including intangibles are
carried at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortization losses, if any.

The cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment meeting the recognition
criteria and borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of
a qualifying property, plant and equipment up to the date of commissioning of the assets. In accordance
with Ind AS 16- Property, Plant and Equipment commissioning expenses directly attributable to project
is recognized under Capital Work in Progress (CWIP). Subsequent to initial recognition, property, plant
and equipment other than freehold land are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed
for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable.

Intangible Assets (Ind AS 38)

Intangible assets are recognized when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company
and the cost can be reliably measured.

They are initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less amortisation and impairment, if any.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the
specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.
Amortisation is on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life.Research costs are expensed as
incurred; development costs are capitalized if criteria under Ind AS 38 are met. Assets with indefinite life
or not yet in use are tested annually for impairment.

Depreciation

Depreciation in tangible assets is provided on Written Down Value method and calculated on cost of items
of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual value over their estimated useful life and
recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

b) Income Taxes

Deferred Tax Assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit
will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgement is required to
determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the
level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

The company was having brought forward losses that will be used to setoff against future profit. During
the year company has loss from operating activities and management decided not to create deferred tax
assets for the brought forward loss and unabsorbed depreciation.

c) Defined Benefit Plans

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan, post-employment medical benefits and other defined benefit
plans and the present value of the obligation of defined benefit plans are determined using actuarial
valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual
developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases
and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined
benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at
each reporting date.

d) Interim Financial Reporting (Ind AS 34)

The interim financial results are prepared in accordance with Ind AS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as
notified under the Companies Act, 2013. The same accounting policies and methods of computation as
followed in the annual financial statements have been applied. Estimates used are consistent with those
of the previous financial year unless stated otherwise. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the
full-year performance.

2.4 Investment Property

Property that is held for long-term rental yield or for capital appreciation or both is classified as investment
property. Investment property is carried at cost including related transaction costs less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Subsequent expenditure is included in the asset’s book value
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company
and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. all other repairs and maintenance are expensed when
incurred. when a part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amounts of the replaced part is
derecognized.

2.5 Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are interest and other costs (including exchange difference relating to foreign currency
borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustement to interest costs) incurred in connection
with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to production or acquisition or
construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of assets up to the date such assets
are ready for their intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognized as expense in the period in which
they are incurred.

2.6 Impairment

The carrying values of assets/cash generating units at each Balance sheet date are annually reviewed for
impairment. If any indication of impairment exits, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and
impairment exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and impairment is recognized, if
the carrying amount of these assets exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the
greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in infuse is arrived at by discounting the future
cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that
an impairment loss recognized for an asset in earlier accounting periods no longer exits or may have
decreased such reversal of impairment loss is recognized in the statement of Profit and Loss.

2.7 Foreign Currency translation

i) Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee, the national currency of India, which is the
functional currency of the Company.

ii) Transaction and balances
Initial Recognition

Foreign currency transactions are recorded in functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing on
the date of transaction.

Subsequent recognition

As at the reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are restated at the
closing exchange rates. Exchange differences arising out of actual payment/ realization and from the year
end restatement are recognized in the statement of Profit and Loss.

Forward Contracts

Foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding at the year-end on account of firms commitment /
highly probable forecast transactions are marked to market and the gains / losses, if any, are recognized
in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company does not enter into any speculative transactions in
derivatives.

2.8 Inventories

Inventories are valued at cost or net realisable value whichever is less. The cost of inventories includes
expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or other conversion cost incurred
in bringing them to their present location ans condition. In the case of raw material and stock-in¬
trade cost comprises of cost of purchase, in the case of finished goods and work in progress, cost
includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. In
the case of trading invetories, cost comprises the cost of purchase and other incidental costs
incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. The company values its inventories
using the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method & its land using the Fair Market Value(Guideline Value).
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs
of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The net realisable value of work in progress
is determined with reference to the selling price of related finished goods.

2.9 Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand, cash at banks, short-term deposits and short-term
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to
an insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.10 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, less
provision for impairment.

2.11 Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits full flow to the Company and
the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when payment is being made. Revenue is measured
at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined
terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government. The Company has
concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the
revenue arrangements as it had pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.

Contract Assets

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer.
If the Company fulfils its performance obligation by transferring goods or services to a customer before
the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned
consideration that is conditional.

Trade Receivables

A receivable represents the company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only
the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).

Contract Liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company
has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays
consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is
recognized when the payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract Liabilities
in respect of advance from customers is disclosed under “other current liabilities”. Contract liabilities are
recognized as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

(a) Sale of Goods and Services

Revenue, including subsidy, in respect of sale of goods and services is recognized at a point in time
when control of the goods has transferred or services obligation has been performed, being when the
goods are delivered to the buyer, the buyer has full discretion over the goods or services and there is
no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the buyer’s acceptance of the goods. Revenue (other than
subsidy) from the sales is recognized based on price specified in the contract, net of estimated volume
discount. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns and allowances, trade discounts, rebates,
and goods & services tax (GST). The Company collects GST on behalf of the government and therefore,
these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, these are excluded from the revenue.
The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised
goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the
Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(b) Interest Income

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to gross carrying amount of a financial
asset except for financial asset that subsequently become credit impaired. In case of credit impaired
financial asset, the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial assets (after
deduction of the loss allowance).

(c) Dividend

Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established, which is
generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

(d) Insurance Claims

Claims receivable on account of insurance are accounted for to the extent the Company is reasonably
certain of their ultimate collection.

2.12 Lease

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the
contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for
consideration.

A. Company as Lessee

The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term
leases and leases of low value assets. The Company recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments
and right-of use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

Right of use assets

The cost of the right-of-use assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,
any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease plus any initial direct costs, less any
lease incentives received. Subsequently, the right-of-use assets is measured at cost less any accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The right-of use assets is depreciated using the
straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-
use assets. The Right to use assets are also subject to impairment as described in the polices with respect
to the impairment of non-financial assets.

For lease liabilities at inception, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the
lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments are discounted using the interest
rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determined, if that rate is not readily determined, the lease
payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate. After the commencement date, the amount
of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.

The Company recognizes the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the
right-of-use assets. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero and there is a
further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount
of the re-measurement in the statement of Profit and loss.

B. Company as Lessor

The leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of an asset arc classified as operating Lease. Rental income arising is accounted for on a
straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to
its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added
to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental
income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned. During the
year ended 31 March 2020, the Company applied, for the first time, Ind AS 116 Leases retrospectively
with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application as an
adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings {or other component of equity, as appropriate) at
the date of initial application.

C. Nature of the effect of adoption of Ind AS 116.

The Company has lease contracts for Factory and Hotel Business. Before the adoption of Ind AS 116,
the Company classified its leases (as lessor) at the inception date as an operating lease. In an operating
lease, the leased property was not capitalized and the lease receipts/payments were recognized as
rent income in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Any prepaid
rent and accrued rent were recognized under Prepayments and Trade and other payables, respectively.
Upon adoption of Ind AS 116, the company applied a single recognition and measurement approach for
all leases that it is the lessee, except for short term, leases and leases of low-value assets. The standard
provides specific transition requirements and practical expedients, which has been applied by the company.

2.13 Financial Instrument

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability
or equity instrument of another entity.

Government Subsidy relating to income are recognized in the statement of profit and loss over the periods
in which the related costs, for which the grants are intended to compensate are recognized as expenses.
(a) Financial assets
Initial Recognition and Measurement

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded
at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial
asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in
profit or loss. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame
established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the
trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent Measurement
Debt Instruments

Subsequent measurementof debt instruments dependson the Group’s business model formanaging the asset
andthecashflowcharacteristicsoftheasset.Forthepurposesofsubsequentmeasurement,debtinstrumentsare
classified in three categories:

- Debt instruments at amortized cost;

- Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI); and

- Debt instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

Debt Instruments at Amortized Cost

A debt instrument is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:

a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash
flows, and

b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or
premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is
included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the
profit or loss.

Debt Instrument at FVTOCI

A debt instrument is classified as at FVTOCI if both the following criteria are met:

a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling
the financial assets, and

b) The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting
date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the OCI. However, the Group recognizes interest
income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and
Loss. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified
from the equity to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Interest earned while holding FVTOCI debt instruments
is reported as interest income using the EIR method.

Debt Instrument at FVTPL

FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for
categorization as at amortized cost or as at FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. In addition, the Group
may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as
at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or
recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’). Debt instruments included within the
FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity Instruments

- Equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); and

- Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
primarily derecognized when:

(a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

(b) The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to
pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’
arrangement; and either

(i) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or

(ii) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,
but has transferred control of the asset.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its
assets carried at amortized cost and FVTOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied
depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.
Assessment of such credit risk is being made on case to case basis based on available information.
For trade receivables only, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 ‘Financial
Instruments’,whichrequiresexpectedlifetimelossestoberecognizedfrominitialrecognitionofthereceivables.
The allowance for doubtful debts/ advances or impairment of assets is made on case to case basis by
considering relevant available information.

(b) Financial Liabilities

Initial Recognition and Measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss, as loans and borrowings, as payables, or as derivatives. All financial liabilities are recognized initially
at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction
costs. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including
redeemable preference shares and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent Measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below::

Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) include financial liabilities held for trading and
financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held
for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes
derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments
in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109 ‘Financial instruments’. Gains or losses on liabilities held
for trading are recognized in the profit or loss.

2.14 Employee benefits / Obligations
(i) Short term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries including non monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly
within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render their related services are
recognized in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at
the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current
employee benefit obligations in the Balance Sheet.
ii) Post employment obligations

The Company has the following post employment obligations / plans:

a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity for its eligible employees; and

b) Defined contribution plan such as provident fund
a) Gratuity:

The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the present
value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by Actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
Actuarial gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Further, the profit or loss not
include an expected return on plan assets. Further, the profit or loss does not include an expected return
on plan assets. Instead net interest recognized in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate
used to measure the defined benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

Re-measurement gains or losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumption
are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income (net of tax).

(b) Provident Fund:

This is a defined contribution plan, and contributions made to the Fund as per the rules of the Company are
charged top rift and loss as and when due. The Company has no further obligations for future provident
fund benefits other than monthly contributions.

2.15 Taxes on Income

Taxes on Income comprise current tax and deferred tax.

The current tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income computed at
the applicable income tax rate and is recognized in the statement of profit or loss. Management periodically
evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is
subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to
be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax is
determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the
reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred
tax liability is settled.

Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items
recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(b) Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared under historical cost convention except for certain assets and liabilities as stated in the respective policies, which have been measured at fair value.

(c) Current versus non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

i. Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

ii. Held primarily for the purpose of trading

iii. Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or

iv. Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

i. It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

ii. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

iii. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

iv. There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other liabilities have been classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

2.2 Use of estimates and judgement

The preparation of financial statement in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the year and disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of balance sheet. The judgement, estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon the management’s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

2.3 Significant estimates and judgements

The areas involving significant estimates property and judgements are:

a) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company’s assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in production or from a change in market demand of the product or service output of the asset.

b) Income Taxes

Deferred Tax Assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

The company was having brought forward losses that will be used to setoff against future profit. During the year company has loss from operating activities and management decided not to create deferred tax assets for the brought forward loss and unabsorbed depreciation.

c) Defined Benefit Plans

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan, post-employment medical benefits and other defined benefit plans and the present value of the obligation of defined benefit plans are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

2.4 Property, Plant and Equipment

(a) Freehold land is carried at cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment including intangibles are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortization losses, if any.

The cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment meeting the recognition criteria and borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying property, plant and equipment up to the date of commissioning of the assets. In accordance with Ind AS 16- Property, Plant and Equipment commissioning expenses directly attributable to project is recognized under Capital Work in Progress (CWIP). Subsequent to initial recognition, property, plant and equipment other than freehold land are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

2.5 Investment Property

Property that is held for long-term rental yield or for capital appreciation or both is classified as investment property. Investment property is carried at cost including related transaction costs less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Subsequent expenditure is included in the asset’s book value only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. all other repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. when a part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amounts of the replaced part is derecognized.

2.6 Depreciation

Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on Written Down value method based on all assets at the appropriate rates in accordance with Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Cost of Intangible amortized over a period of ten years on written down value basis. Investment property is depreciated using the straight line method over its estimated useful life in line with rates specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013.

2.7 Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs attributable to production or acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of assets up to the date such assets are ready for their intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred.

2.8 Impairment

The carrying values of assets/cash generating units at each Balance sheet date are annually reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment exits, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and impairment exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and impairment is recognized, if the carrying amount of these assets exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in infuse is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that an impairment loss recognized for an asset in earlier accounting periods no longer exits or may have decreased such reversal of impairment loss is recognized in the statement of Profit and Loss..

2.9 Foreign Currency translation

A receivable represents the company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).

Contract Liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract Liabilities in respect of advance from customers is disclosed under “other current liabilities”. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

(a) Sale of Goods and Services

Revenue, including subsidy, in respect of sale of goods and services is recognized at a point in time when control of the goods has transferred or services obligation has been performed, being when the goods are delivered to the buyer, the buyer has full discretion over the goods or services and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the buyer’s acceptance of the goods. Revenue (other than subsidy) from the sales is recognized based on price specified in the contract, net of estimated volume discount. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns and allowances, trade discounts, rebates, and goods & services tax (GST). The Company collects GST on behalf of the government and therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, these are excluded from the revenue. The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(b) Interest Income

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial asset that subsequently become credit impaired. In case of credit impaired financial asset, the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial assets (after deduction of the loss allowance).

(c) Dividend

Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

(d) Insurance Claims

Claims receivable on account of insurance are accounted for to the extent the Company is reasonably certain of their ultimate collection.

2.14 Lease

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

A. Company as Lessee

The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. The Company recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

Right of use assets

The cost of the right-of-use assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the right-of-use assets is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The right-of use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use assets. The Right to use assets are also subject to impairment as described in the polices with respect to the impairment of non-financial assets. For lease liabilities at inception, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determined, if that rate is not readily determined, the lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The Company recognizes the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use assets. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount of the re-measurement in the statement of Profit and loss.

B. Company as Lessor

The leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset arc classified as operating Lease. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned. During the year ended 31 March 2020, the Company applied, for the first time, Ind AS 116 Leases retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings {or other component of equity, as appropriate) at the date of initial application.

C. Nature of the effect of adoption of lnd AS 116.

The Company has lease contracts for Factory and Hotel Business. Before the adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company classified its leases (as lessor) at the inception date as an operating lease. In an operating lease, the leased property was not capitalized and the lease receipts/payments were recognized as rent income in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Any prepaid rent and accrued rent were recognized under Prepayments and Trade and other payables, respectively. Upon adoption of Ind AS 116, the company applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases that it is the lessee, except for short term, leases and leases of low-value assets. The standard provides specific transition requirements and practical expedients, which has been applied by the company.

2.15 Financial Instrument

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Government Subsidy relating to income are recognized in the statement of profit and loss over the periods in which the related costs, for which the grants are intended to compensate are recognized as expenses.

(a) Financial assets

Initial Recognition and Measurement

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent Measurement Debt Instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. For the purposes of subsequent measurement, debt instruments are classified in three categories:

- Debt instruments at amortized cost;

- Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI); and

- Debt instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

Debt Instruments at Amortized Cost

A debt instrument is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:

a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the profit or loss.

Debt Instrument at FVTOCI

A debt instrument is classified as at FVTOCI if both the following criteria are met:

a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and

b) The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the OCI. However, the Group recognizes interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from the equity to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Interest earned while holding FVTOCI debt instruments is reported as interest income using the EIR method.

Debt Instrument at FVTPL

FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as at FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. In addition, the Group may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’). Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity Instruments

- Equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); and

- Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized when:

(a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

(b) The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either

(i) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or

(ii) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost and FVTOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. Assessment of such credit risk is being made on case to case basis based on available information. For trade receivables only, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 ‘Financial Instruments’,whichrequiresexpectedlifetimelossestoberecognizedfrominitialrecognitionofthereceivables. The allowance for doubtful debts/ advances or impairment of assets is made on case to case basis by considering relevant available information.

(b) Financial Liabilities

Initial Recognition and Measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, as loans and borrowings, as payables, or as derivatives. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including redeemable preference shares and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent Measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109 ‘Financial instruments’. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the profit or loss.

2.16 Employee benefits / Obligations (i) Short term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries including non monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render their related services are recognized in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the Balance Sheet.

ii) Post employment obligations

The Company has the following post employment obligations / plans:

a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity for its eligible employees; and

b) Defined contribution plan such as provident fund a) Gratuity:

The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by Actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Further, the profit or loss not include an expected return on plan assets. Further, the profit or loss does not include an expected return on plan assets. Instead net interest recognized in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

Re-measurement gains or losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumption are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income (net of tax). (b)Provident Fund:

This is a defined contribution plan, and contributions made to the Fund as per the rules of the Company are charged top rift and loss as and when due. The Company has no further obligations for future provident fund benefits other than monthly contributions.

2.17 Taxes on Income

Taxes on Income comprise current tax and deferred tax.

The current tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income computed at the applicable income tax rate and is recognized in the statement of profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.

Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

2.18 Provisions and contingencies Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed in notes. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements.

2.19 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all potential equity shares.

2.20 Accounting Policy, Change in Accounting Estimates and Error
